The county publishes no live jail roster link. Call 812-838-1321 option 1 with the full legal name, date of birth, likely spelling and approximate arrest time; ask for the booking number and whether the person is still there. Cross-check the Indiana jail portal, SAVIN, IDOC, BOP or ICE only when transfer is plausible; a court docket or third-party profile is not proof of current custody.

Use 812-838-1321 option 1 for custody and current jail rules, option 2 for Sheriff administration, and 812-838-1320 for dispatch service. Use Clerk 812-838-1306 for court records and county government 812-838-1300 for a county-office referral. Do not expect a court, vendor or Community Corrections to answer a jail-policy question.

These instructions apply only to adult Sheriff custody at 1201 O’Donnell Road. Community Corrections uses the same physical address but publishes P.O. Box 1003 for its mail and is not the jail. Probation, courts, youth systems, municipal police, IDOC, BOP and ICE also remain separate; recheck the custodian after every transport or sentencing event.

The county does not publish whether current visits are onsite video, remote video, noncontact or suspended. JailATM’s support selector lists Posey County Sheriff’s Office, while nonofficial listings name InmateSales; neither establishes the county-approved visit product. Call 812-838-1321 option 1 before creating or funding an account.

Sources: Posey County Government — Sheriff’s Office · JailATM general inquiry facility list · InmateSales portal

No current official page gives visiting days, hours, duration, frequency, housing rotation, check-in cutoff or holiday closures. Ask jail option 1 for the person’s housing-based calendar and whether the slot must be booked. Save the staff answer and verify again the day of travel.

Sources: Posey County Government — Sheriff’s Office

First obtain the resident’s exact name and booking number from jail option 1. Ask which platform, visit type, lead time and support channel apply. If staff assigns JailATM, select Indiana and Posey County Sheriff’s Office inside the logged-in account and verify the resident before paying; do not assume its generic video instructions prove local availability.

Accepted identification, alternatives for a person without photo ID, visitor approval, criminal-history limits, minor consent or custody papers, dress, belongings, infant supplies, disability accommodations and long-distance exceptions are not published. Call 812-838-1321 option 1 with the exact scenario before travel.

Save the confirmation, receipt, scheduled time and error. If the jail assigned JailATM, test the camera and microphone in advance and use its support form; ask jail option 1 whether housing, discipline, court or operations blocked the session. Current local cancellation, refund, outage, late-arrival and appeal rules are not published.

The county does not name a current voice provider, account type, rate table or support number. Ask 812-838-1321 option 1 which product handles voice calls and whether funding is tied to the resident or one destination number. Use the exact booking identifier the jail confirms and never put trust money into a communications account by guess.

Sources: Posey County Government — Sheriff’s Office · JailATM general inquiry facility list · InmateSales portal

Confirm that the number accepts calls from a correctional system and has no spam block, call forwarding or carrier restriction. Record the date, time, resident and error, then contact the jail-confirmed provider. Local calling hours, call length, recording notice, blocked-number removal, refund and transfer/release balance rules remain open.

Do not assume personal mail goes to 1201 O’Donnell Road. A 2020 report described an in-jail scanner, but the county publishes no current personal-mail address, addressee format or scanning route. Ask jail option 1 for every address line, booking identifier, envelope rule, delivery format and rejection process before mailing.

Attorneys and legal senders should call 812-838-1321 option 1 for the current privileged-mail address and required markings. Ask whether the sender must be verified, mail is opened in the resident’s presence and a rejection receives notice and appeal. Never route privileged material through an unconfirmed scanning address.

The county publishes no current limits for photo size, count, ink, instant photos, greeting cards, books, magazines, newspapers, subscriptions or religious materials. Ask whether books must arrive directly from a publisher and whether digital images use a different provider. A generic vendor menu does not establish Posey availability.

Sources: Posey County Government — Sheriff’s Office · JailATM support

No authorized package, clothing drop, medication delivery, glasses or emergency-item exception is published. Call jail option 1 before buying or shipping anything. If staff identifies an approved catalog, confirm item, size, resident eligibility, deadline and what happens after transfer or release.

JailATM lists Posey County Sheriff’s Office in a support selector, but the county does not say that it handles trust deposits or commissary. Call 812-838-1321 option 1 for the current vendor, lobby method, accepted payment, resident identifier, limit, fee and posting time. Do not mail cash or a money order without written local instructions.

Sources: Posey County Government — Sheriff’s Office · JailATM general inquiry facility list · JailATM support

Before paying, match the resident name and ID. Keep the receipt and transaction number. For a duplicate, wrong resident, missing posting or release/transfer, contact jail option 1 immediately and then only the provider it confirms. JailATM’s generic support says duplicate deposits should be placed on hold quickly, but local refund authority is unverified.

Sources: JailATM support · Posey County Government — Sheriff’s Office

A deposit path is not proof of an outside package or commissary-pack program. Ask jail option 1 about order day, balance cutoff, spending limit, products, medical/dietary substitutions, shortages, indigent hygiene and release balance. If a vendor catalog appears, confirm Posey participation inside the account before purchase.

Search MyCase for the case and signed bond order, then confirm the amount, bond type, case number, outside holds and accepted local method with jail option 1 or Clerk 812-838-1306. Indiana law provides the framework, but the order controls. The county publishes no online jail-bond vendor or after-hours process.

After payment, keep the receipt and ask who must transmit it, whether every case and hold is cleared, and when the jail received authority to release. For a declined card, wrong case or duplicate, stop and contact the named processor, Clerk 812-838-1306 and jail option 1; do not submit repeated payments by guess.

A 2020 Quality Correctional Care contract is too old to identify the current clinical provider. For an urgent but non-911 concern, call 812-838-1321 option 1, state the resident name, booking number, condition, medication and last dose, and ask that information reach medical staff. Staff may accept information without disclosing protected health information.

Bring or transmit only as staff directs: prescriber, pharmacy, medicine name, dose, schedule, last dose, allergies and device needs. Do not leave pills at the lobby without permission. A 2022 copay action is dated; current medication acceptance, dental, glasses, devices, copays, indigency and discharge supply are unresolved.

The county posts no resident grievance procedure. Ask how the resident requests a form, informal resolution, emergency review, response deadline and appeal, and how to report retaliation. Keep dates, names, copies and grievance numbers; a family phone call does not necessarily preserve the resident’s internal deadline.

MyCase may show counsel of record. If none appears and appointment is requested, contact the court or Clerk 812-838-1306 about the local process; the jail does not appoint counsel or give legal advice.

INDOT’s current public-transit-system list names no Posey County grantee. A state coordination plan places Posey in rural Region 1, but that is planning geography, not a ride offer. No fixed stop, general-public demand response, fare or final walk to 1201 O’Donnell Road was verified; use Indiana 211 for leads and confirm eligibility and coverage directly.

No current official operator or service calendar for a Posey County jail trip was found, so zero service dates are claimed.

Release pickup must be arranged independently and synchronized with jail option 1.
